I would just leave it. And definitely not spray any lub oil on it.

If it's a Generac, their website has a post a "question for the expert" type page. Maybe try that as well, but they are probably pretty busy.

Thanks Tom,

Pretty much what I'm doing. I was only thinking of the WD as it's "Water Dispersal" and does dry up and disappear "after a while." However with the weather systems we're experiencing, I may need it tomorrow or something.

Called Generac and you were right, "With the recent storm on the east coast, wait times will be at least 40 minutes..."

Also thought about blowing compressed air through it, but my air compressor is a small one and doesn't have a dryer. With the rain and snow and sleet we've had for the past week, the air is super saturated with moisture and would probably deposit a lot of it where there probably isn't any now. Think I'll adopt the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" theory....:-)

Thanks again,

Ev

Ev, wouldn't worry too much about it.

I have my Generac 17.5kw under the deck, with a tarp on the deck. Monday night the rain was going horizontal, the machine got plenty wet. Didn't matter, still running fine. Might be some rust on the exhaust. that's OK. Running it 5 hours/day since then.

Probably OK to blow air through your Generac, as long as your air tank is drained of any water.
